Statistical mechanics of helical wormlike chain model.
We investigate the statistical mechanics of polymers with bending and torsional elasticity described by the helical wormlike model. Noticing that the energy function is factorizable, we provide a numerical method to solve the model using a transfer matrix formulation. The tangent-tangent and binormal-binormal correlation functions have been calculated and displayed rich profiles which are sensi...

متن کاملElectrically Triggered Release of a Small Molecule Drug from a Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Coating.
Electrically triggered drug delivery represents an attractive option for actively and remotely controlling the release of a therapeutic from an implantable device (e.g., a "pharmacy-on-a-chip"). Here we report the fabrication of nanoscale thin films that can release precise quantities of a small molecule drug in response to application of a small, anodic electric potential of at least +0.5 V ve...
متن کاملThe Glassy Wormlike Chain
We introduce a new model for the dynamics of a wormlike chain in an environment that gives rise to a rough free energy landscape, which we baptise the glassy wormlike chain. It is obtained from the common wormlike chain by an exponential stretching of the relaxation spectrum of its long-wavelength eigenmodes, controlled by a single parameter E . Predictions for pertinent observables such as the...
متن کاملMicrotubule dynamics depart from the wormlike chain model.
Thermal shape fluctuations of grafted microtubules were studied using high resolution particle tracking of attached fluorescent beads. First mode relaxation times were extracted from the mean square displacement in the transverse coordinate. For microtubules shorter than approximately 10 microm, the relaxation times were found to follow an L2 dependence instead of L4 as expected from the standa...
